Kim opens North Korean congress by admitting policy failures

Associated Press  

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un admitted that his economic development plans have failed as he opened the nation’s first full ruling party congress in five years, state media reported Wednesday. Kim, 36, is holding the congress, which is expected to last a few days, amid what may be the toughest challenge of his nine-year rule and what he has called “multiple crises.” Authoritarian North Korea is one of the poorest countries in Asia, and the already besieged economy is being hammered by pandemic-related border closings with China, the North’s major economic lifeline, the fallout from a series of natural disasters last summer and persistent U.S.-led sanctions over the nuclear program. Last August, he acknowledged economic “shortcomings” caused by “unexpected and inevitable challenges.” Also last year he said that North Korea lacks modern medical facilities and that anti-disaster conditions in coastal areas is “poor.” Few experts doubt Kim’s grip on power. State media said Kim sent New Year’s Day cards to ordinary citizens in what Seoul called the first such letters by a North Korean leader in 26 years.
